Ollie Watkins, the 29-year-old English Centre-Forward currently playing for Aston Villa, is reportedly on the verge of a possible transfer.
The potential future club in question is Al-Hilal, a top-tier team in the Saudi Pro League.
Watkins has had an impressive season with Aston Villa, which is currently holding the 6th position in the Premier League with 66 points, thereby securing a spot in the UEFA Europa League. Throughout the season, Watkins has played in 38 matches, during which he scored 16 goals and provided 8 assists. His physical stature, at 180 cm and 75 kg, has undoubtedly contributed to his performance on the pitch.
The market value of Watkins is estimated at €40.00m, which translates to approximately 298 million DKK, considering a slight variance. The transfer window, which opened on July 1, will close at the end of this month. Therefore, if any transfer is to take place, it will have to be within this period.
The move to Al-Hilal would present a new challenge for Watkins, who has spent his career in England. However, it’s important to note that nothing has been confirmed yet, and the transfer is still in the realm of possibility.
